ME Sitges Terramar

Another addition to the luxury hotel group from Melia. Me Sitges Terramar is a sharp, trendy and chic property in its own little bubble on the cusp of the laidback party town of Sitges, just south of Barcelona.

Location

6/10

The hotel occupies a look-out spot at the far end of the Paseo Maritimo promenade away from Sitges town centre. For fans of peace and quiet, this provides a splendid isolation away from the busiest parts of the beach front (and it is still right on a quieter part of the beach), but the walk to the narrow bustling streets of Sitges old town and its restaurants and bars is considerable, at around half an hour, and may require a taxi or passion for strolling.

Style & character

8/10

Originally built in 1933, the hotel has been fully renovated (it was previously the Terramar Palace) and is today clean, light and offers a welcoming environment. Its interior design and furnishings are contemporary in style, mostly in whites, greys and creams, but sympathetic to Sitges' relaxed, friendly way of life. Altogether it makes for a pleasantly luxurious feel.

Service & facilities

9/10

Between a spa (with treatments available), two pools with bars; one on ground level and one on the roof, an oyster bar and a restaurant, the Me Sitges Terramar is almost a resort in its right. Given the walk to town, it is comforting to know it is possible to spend lazy days from dawn to dusk here without needing to leave the hotel. The private beach club pool space is large and pleasant with a good stock of sunbeds.

However, word of warning – the luxury double 'Bali beds' on the far side of the pool are empty because they are not cheap (around €150 [£132] per day). Daily yoga classes are also available in the pool area, while staff, who are friendly and helpful, can help organise rounds of golf, a 25-minute walk away, and bike hire. There are also pet care and private jet services.

Rooms

The hotel's 213 rooms, including 26 suites, are like the rest of the building; bright with soft and modern furnishings, many offering balconies or terraces and views across towards Sitges and out over the Mediterranean. Nespresso machines, USB ports (and surround-sound speakers to which you can connect your phone) and cocktail-making equipment give the simple rooms a little more character, while the large comfortable bed and slick bath and powerful rain shower complete a space where anyone should be more than happy to linger to escape the midday sun.

Food & drink

8/10

The Oyster Bar in the lobby serves seafood, including oysters, as well as wines and champagne, while the rooftop Radio Bar offers cocktails, Asian-inspired dishes and panoramic views. And then there's the outside bar, for pool-side snacks and tipples. For something more substantial, the Beso Sitges restaurant serves a buffet breakfast, continental and cooked, as well as lunch and dinner. The evening menu offers excellent fresh seafood, including gigantic paellas and a catch of the day, in a charming, relaxed setting, overlooking the beach front.
